However, SQL Server 2014 setup will not let you continue if any components that require the Microsoft .NET 3.5 Framework are selected and the .NET 3.5 Framework is not installed. Issue 1 - Incomplete SQL Failover Cluster or Stand-alone installations On servers where the .NET Framework 3.5 is not already installed or servers where Internet access is restricted, the SQL Server 2012 installation program does not install components that depend on the .NET Framework 3.5. Note Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2 will not let you continue with the installation. Note For a list of SQL Server 2012 components that depend on the .NET Framework 3.5, see the "Known SQL Server 2012 setup and migration issues" topic. An error message that resembles the following may be displayed during SQL Server 2012 installation when the .NET Framework is not enabled: Collapse this imageExpand this image

Mastering Tasker - 1: Getting Started - Android Features - News + ArticlesWelcome to our new feature, 'Mastering Tasker'. In this series of articles, we'll take you through getting the most out of the powerful, versatile but also scary-to-newcomers Tasker application. Today, part 1 - Getting Started. Let's start with a simple description of what Tasker is, so you can decide if it'll be useful to you. Tasker is a £3.99 application, installed from the Google Play Store, which uses 'Contexts', grouped into 'Profiles' to trigger 'Actions', grouped into 'Tasks'. Contexts can take a multitude of forms - we'll come to them in more detail later - but examples are a time Context (e.g. between the hours of midnight and 7am), a date Context (self explanatory), a location Context (e.g. when you are within 100m of home), a WiFi Context (when you are connected to a particular network), a sensor Context (when device is being held sideways) and so on. The uses for Tasker are generally only limited by your imagination... What today's article covers Installing the application

Anki - friendly, intelligent flashcardsSSDs Have Bleak Future, Says ResearchersSSD performance will only get worse as NAND flash circuity gets smaller. SSDs are seemingly doomed. Why? Because as circuitry of NAND flash-based SSDs shrinks, densities increase. But that also means issues relating to read and write latency and data errors will increase as well. "This makes the future of SSDs cloudy," states Laura Grupp, a graduate student at the University of California, San Diego. To prove this theory, Grupp teamed up with Steven Swanson, director of UCSD's Non-Volatile Systems Laboratory, and John Davis of Microsoft Research. The group discovered that write speed for pages in a flash block suffered "dramatic and predictable variations" in latency. With the testing information at hand, the group fast-forwarded to the year 2024 when NAND flash circuitry is expected to be only 6.5-nm in size. "It's not going to be viable to go past 6.5-nm," Grupp said. "2024 is the end. To read the full report, head here.

Mastering Tasker - 2: Setting your home zone, introducing entry / exit tasks - Android Features - News + ArticlesWelcome to part 2 of our new feature, 'Mastering Tasker'. In this series of articles, we'll take you through getting the most out of the powerful, versatile but also scary-to-newcomers Tasker application. Today - Setting your 'home zone' and we're going to introduce entry and exit tasks. If you are new to Tasker I recommend you work through the tutorials in order, part 1 is available in this post. What today's article covers Today we're going to talk about the location Context and how this allows you to configure Tasker to do specific things when you are home, work, or any other location you choose. Creating a location based Profile First of all, let's create our location based Profile for home - you can then replicate this for any other places you'd like to use. To follow these you need to be at the main '3 tabs' screen. Press the green plus icon to create a new Profile.You're prompted for a name at this point - if you don't put one in, it will be automatically created for you.
